I have keg hopped a few times with mixed results. In general, I find the hop flavour to be very good and quite strong hopping in keg with a stainless mesh tube holding the hops. I also have floating dip tubes on all kegs. On 1 brew (IPL) I noticed the last 3-4 pints a grassy flavour that...

While there likely are some benefits of beer drinking I think it would be better said that their are benefits of consuming fermented products. I of course love beer but consume it in a way that tries to minimize the negatives of it. on the beer or two a day thought I was very much this person...

I have been using hop spider for quite some time, essentially since I started brewing, but one observation I have had is that for hoppy beers like NEIPA the hop spider is really full and expect not getting ideal extraction. I am pretty diligent about stirring the hop spider during whirlpool and...

Sorry for your leaks. It’s very annoying. Like others have said you need to troubleshoot which can take some time. You know your kegs are good which can often be the most difficult spot. one thing to try if you can - submerge all your hoses, manifolds etc except the CO2 regulator in a bath and...

Output of spunding valve to the keg

I’ve been doing this with great success for over a year because of the analysis shared. If I do any Sounding it is on the fermenter as there Is less chance for leaks that way. I have had hoppy beers in kegs for a couple months that still tasted great. I also close Transfer and use ascorbic in...

I can’t claim personal experience here but believe simple sugar availability at the start of fermentation can increase sourness from this yeast. So adding some dextrose or table sugar at end of boil may help in future. would echo the other comment that if you want to try more sour on this one...

was offering for PM on specific questions or details. There is nothing to elaborate on to me without specifics. It is just stovetop brewing in the end. I don’t know the burner outputs etc. never looked them up just tried it and it worked so kept going.

I have been doing all grain BIAB on my Bosch induction cooktop for 2 years. I can give you some input if you want to PM on details. the burner is not full size of the pot and I don’t see issues with mash temps (I do recirc as well). Boiling does take a bit of time to get to compared to gas but...

this is what I do and have had good success. I have adopted this over keg hopping and magnets because of observation of dry hops after the beer has been transferred or consumed. In addition to the CO2 on the liquid side to purge CO2 throughout a good number of head space purgings after putting...

Have had a 4 tap, 8 corny keg keezer up and going for some time. The freezer was old when I got it an appears to have bit the dust. I had not been happy with the moisture issues of the keezer in summer due to the high humidity in my area so decided to go to a kegerator when my keezer died...

Late reply, I have 90" right before the duotight shank fittings. I do have 10ft of 4mm beer line on all my lines as well. No issues with foaming as a result of this setup. I did have it setup with just tubing before and also no issues there so adding the 90 did not change that.

Do it in the mash. 4-6g in mash accomplishes the same thing is my understanding. I follow the Genus Brewing advice on this.

This was going to be my suggestion as well. Everything else seems like very good practices.

it Sits inside. I am using a 10G kettle. About 13 inches ID if I remember correctly. Fits perfectly on my kettle so that there is an opening between the colander and edge of kettle so that anything that runs over the edge ends up in kettle not on the stove. for a long boil the bottom of...
